CAUSE, the Mechanical Contractors and Unions Seal of Excellence

CAUSE, the Mechanical Contractors and Unions Seal of Excellence, is comprised of the Mechanical Contractors Association of Metropolitan Washington and their 3,700 skilled craftsmen in Plumbers Local 5 and Steamfitters Local 602.

CAUSE was created in 1984, when the MCAMW, Local 5 and Local 602 signed a pledge - to each other, their customers and the people of the national capital area:

No strikes or lockouts, the highest quality work, ethical bidding procedures, unmatched productivity through efficient work practices, safety first always, and a special commitment to the finest training of our workforce.

Those workers have installed and serviced the plumbing, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems in Washington's best- known buildings and landmarks - the Capitol, the White House, the Washington Monument, the Pentagon, the Air and Space Museum, Fed Ex Field, the MCI Center and Nationals Stadium. We even installed these systems on Air Force One!

From giant shopping centers to local mini-malls. . .from multi-use commercial developments to community hospitals, apartments and office building. . .from high tech manufacturing plants and government facilities to residences and neighborhood schools, the pipes have to work. That's why the companies that own them and the contractors that built them rely on the members of CAUSE to install and service the mechanical systems so vital to the smooth operation of their daily activities
